how to concatenate &bnsp; 1

[jaschulz]

I need to build a string like this:

str = "1.  some other text";

This string will become the content of a new textnode (of a <p> element), but when I try the above, I get the literal characters &nbsp; rather than a non-breaking space.

What's the right way to do this?

Thanks,

James

try,

str = "1.\u0020\u0020some other text";

?

That doesn't work. \u0020 gives a "regular" space (and even if I use five of them, the browser gobbles them up and spits out only one space in the document), not the HTML non-breaking space that I need.

There as to be a way to do this (I hope). But so far (and I have been chasing around on the web for a couple hours) I haven't been able to find it.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Try using this character instead:
\u00a0

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
